Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present disclosure better understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the disclosure described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an equipment maintenance system, including: fault system, robot management system, spare part database system and robot.
The fault system is used for monitoring the operation condition of each server in the data center.
And the robot management system is used for managing each robot in the data center.
And the spare part database system is used for storing the number and the storage positions of the spare modules of various types.
A robot to maintain a server in a data center.
In one possible implementation, the robot management system, the fault system and/or the spare part database system may be integrated in the robot. For example, a robot is included in a data center, the robot is responsible for maintaining the servers included in the data center, and a robot management system, a fault system, and a spare part database system may be integrated in the robot.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an apparatus maintenance method according to an exemplary embodiment, where the apparatus maintenance method is used in a robot management system of the apparatus maintenance system illustrated in fig. 1, as illustrated in fig. 2, and includes the following steps:
in step S21, failure information transmitted by the failed system is received.
Wherein the fault information includes: the target category to which the failed module in the failed system belongs.
Optionally, the target type to which the failure module belongs may be each module in the server, or may be the entire server. For example: the fault module may be: a fan, a hard disk or a server complete machine.
In step S22, the spare part information of the target category is queried from the spare part database system.
Wherein, the spare part information of the target category includes: the number of standby modules of the target class.
Optionally, if a plurality of types of standby modules are stored in the warehouse, and the storage locations of the various types of standby modules are different, in order to allow the robot to accurately obtain the target type of standby module, the information of the target type of standby components queried in the standby component database system may further include: location of a standby module of the target class.
Optionally, the spare part database system stores the number and the positions of the spare modules of various types.
For example, the information stored in the spare part database is shown in table one:
watch 1
| Module name | Kind of module | Storage location | Stock quantity |
| A | Fan with cooling device | Goods shelf 1 | 500 |
| B | Hard disk | Goods shelf 2 | 300 |
| C | Network card | Goods shelf 3 | 100 |
| D | Optical fiber memory card | Goods shelf 4 | 500 |
| E | Power supply | Goods shelf 5 | 300 |
| F | Server complete machine | Goods shelf 6 | 100 |
Optionally, the module types in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be further subdivided, for example, the hard disk may be further divided into various types according to the size of the capacity. The fans can be further classified into various categories according to size. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the method of dividing the module types.
In step S23, if the number of standby modules of the target type is not zero, the designated robot corresponding to the failed module is identified, and a replacement command is sent to the designated robot.
The replacement instruction is used for indicating that the fault module is replaced by any standby module of the target type.
It will be appreciated that the number of spare modules is generally not less than zero, so that a target class of spare modules that is not zero may also be considered as a target class of spare modules that is greater than zero.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure at least brings the following beneficial effects: because the robot management system in the embodiment of the present disclosure can send a replacement instruction to the designated robot, after the designated robot receives the replacement instruction, the failed module can be replaced with any one of the standby modules of the target type. Therefore, the embodiment of the disclosure realizes the maintenance of the failed equipment by using the robot, ensures the normal operation of the equipment, and does not need manual maintenance, so the embodiment of the disclosure can simplify the mode of maintaining the equipment.
Optionally, the fault information received in step S21 may further include: the location of the standby module of the target class and the location of the failed module. Alternatively, the fault information may include: a first path from the location where the designated robot is located to the location of the standby module of the target category and a second path from the location of the standby module of the target category to the location of the failed module.
For example, the location of the failed module includes: the location of the cabinet where the faulty module is located and the location of the rack on the cabinet where the faulty module is located.
It is understood that the parameters specifically included in the location of the faulty module may be determined according to the size of the data center. If the size of the data center is large and there are multiple machine rooms, the location of the fault module may further include: and the position of the machine room where the fault module is located. If the scale of the data center is small, and servers in the machine room are stored by using the same cabinet, the position of the fault module may not include: location of the cabinet where the faulty module is located. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the parameters included in the location of the failed module and the location of the spare module.
As can be seen, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the failure information may include: and the positions of the fault module and the target type or the path of the fault module is replaced, so that the fault system can send fault information to the robot management system, and the robot management system sends a replacement instruction comprising the positions of the fault module and the target type or the path of the fault module to the robot, so that the robot can accurately acquire the standby module of the target type and accurately replace the fault module by using the acquired standby module.
Alternatively, the designated robot determined in step S23 may be determined in two ways:
and in the first mode, a repair area where the position of the fault module is located is obtained, and the robot in the repair area is determined as the designated robot.
In one embodiment, the data center may be divided into maintenance areas in advance, and each maintenance area corresponds to one robot. And then acquiring a repair area where the position of the fault module is located, and determining the robot in the maintenance area where the repair area is located as the designated robot.
For example, a machine room may be preset as a maintenance area, and each machine room corresponds to one robot. Or, a range included in one floor is preset as a maintenance area, and each floor corresponds to one robot.
For example: the data center comprises two machine rooms, namely a machine room 1 and a machine room 2, wherein the machine room 1 corresponds to the robot a, and the machine room 2 corresponds to the robot b. Assuming that the repair area where the position of the fault module is located is the machine room 1, the designated robot is the robot a corresponding to the machine room 1.
And reading the information of the designated robot corresponding to the fault module from the database.
For example, an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a specified robot may be read.
For example, one server or a plurality of servers may be provided for one robot, and the robot corresponding to each module in the server is the robot corresponding to the server to which the robot belongs.
Alternatively, one robot may be provided for each type of module.
It will be appreciated that there are differences in the operations that can be performed by different kinds of robots. For example, when the failure module is a server complete machine, the robot needs to remove the server complete machine from the rack and then install a standby server complete machine, so that the robot with higher stability and larger load needs to correspond to the server complete machine.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, different modules can correspond to different robots, so that the robot can maintain the data center more professionally, and the maintenance efficiency is improved.
Alternatively, after the robot management system queries the spare part information of the target category from the spare part database system in step S22, if the robot management system queries that the number of the spare modules of the target category is zero, the robot management system may send a prompt message to a designated terminal for managing the spare part database system. And the prompt information is used for prompting the increase of the number of the standby modules.
It is understood that the designated terminal may be a terminal that logs in to the designated account. And sending prompt information to a specified terminal, and prompting a user logging in a specified account to increase the number of the standby modules of the target type.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, when the robot management system queries that the number of the standby modules of the target type is zero, the prompt message can be sent to the designated terminal in time, so that the manager can receive the prompt message in time and increase the number of the standby modules. The situation that the fault module cannot be replaced due to the lack of the standby module is reduced, and the maintenance efficiency of the equipment is improved.
In a possible embodiment, after sending the replacement instruction to the designated robot, the robot management system may further receive a confirmation message sent by the robot, and then forward the confirmation message to the failed system, so that the failed system, after receiving the confirmation message, queries whether the failed server to which the failed module belongs is repaired. The confirmation message is used for prompting the fault system that the fault module is replaced by any standby module of the target type.
Optionally, when the fault system queries that the fault server to which the fault module belongs is not repaired, the complete machine fault information is sent to the robot management system. And after receiving the fault information of the whole robot, the robot management system inquires whether the number of the standby servers with the same types as the fault servers in the standby database system is zero or not. If the number of standby servers of the same type as the failed server is not zero, the robot management system may transmit a complete machine replacement instruction to the designated robot. And the complete machine replacement instruction instructs the designated robot to replace the fault server with any standby server of which the type is the same as that of the fault server.
If the number of the standby servers of the same type as the failed server is zero, the robot management system may transmit, to the designated terminal, a prompt message for prompting the user to increase the number of the standby servers of the same type as the failed server.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, after the robot replaces the fault module with the standby module of the target type, the fault module may receive the confirmation message and re-inquire whether the fault server is repaired, and if not, the robot is instructed to replace the fault server, so that the efficiency of fault discovery is improved.
Optionally, each standby module and the target type of failed module may be hot-plug modules. The size of each hot plug module can be preset, and the length of each hot plug module is not more than the preset length.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can also bring the following beneficial effects: since the fault module and the target type of standby module in the embodiment of the present disclosure are hot plug modules, the robot may replace the fault module with the target type of standby module without cutting off the power supply of the server.
Moreover, because the fault module and the standby module are hot plug modules, the fault module is firstly drawn out when the fault module is replaced, and then the standby module is inserted. Therefore, the robot has the advantages that the replacement process of replacing the fault module by the standby module is simple in operation, the requirement on the robot is low, and the cost of maintaining equipment is reduced.
In addition, in the related art, if one server fails, a maintenance person is required to take out the entire server from the rack, remove the failed component from the entire server, and install a spare component. Because the volume of the server is large, the space between the cabinets for storing the server is generally long, so that the occupied area of the data center is large, and a large amount of land resources are wasted.
The fault module and the standby module in the embodiment of the disclosure are hot plug modules, so that the robot does not need to take out the whole server from the rack when replacing the fault module, and can directly take out the fault module from the server. Therefore, the space between the cabinets storing the servers is short, and land resources occupied by the data center are reduced.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart illustrating an equipment maintenance method according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, for use in a robot of the equipment maintenance system shown in fig. 1, including the steps of:
in step S31, the robot management system transmits a replacement command.
The replacement instruction is used for indicating that the fault module is replaced by any standby module of the target type to which the fault module belongs.
In step S32, the faulty module is replaced with any of the backup modules of the target type.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can bring the following beneficial effects: because the robot management system in the embodiment of the disclosure can send a replacement instruction to the robot, the robot can replace a failed module with any standby module of a target type after receiving the replacement instruction. Therefore, the embodiment of the disclosure realizes the maintenance of the failed equipment by using the robot, ensures the normal operation of the equipment, and does not need manual maintenance, so the embodiment of the disclosure can simplify the mode of maintaining the equipment.
Optionally, the replacing instruction in step S31 may include: the location of the standby module of the target class and the location of the failed module. For example: the locations of the standby modules of the target class include: the position of the warehouse where the standby module is located, the position of the container where the standby module is located, and the position of the shelf on the container where the standby module is located.
For example, in connection with table one, the location of each module in a server may be as shown in fig. 4.
In one embodiment, the robot may determine a first path from the location where the robot is located to the location of the standby module of the target category through the positioning function, and move to the location of the standby module of the target category according to the first path to obtain any standby module of the target category. And then, determining a second path from the position of the standby module of the target type to the position of the fault module through a positioning function, moving to the position of the fault module according to the second path, and replacing the fault module by using the acquired standby module.
Optionally, the replacing instruction in step S31 may include: a first path from the location where the robot is located to the location of the standby module of the target category and a second path from the location of the standby module of the target category to the location of the failed module.
In one embodiment, the robot may move to the location of the standby module of the target category along the first path and acquire any standby module of the target category. And then moving to the position of the fault module according to the second path, and replacing the fault module by using the acquired standby module.
Optionally, the position of the failed module in the failed server may be determined in the following two ways:
and the first mode is to extract the position of the fault module in the fault server from the replacement instruction.
And secondly, identifying the position of the fault module in the fault server according to the target type of the fault module by using an image identification technology.
It can be understood that the shape and size of each module are different, so that different modules installed on the server can be identified according to the types of the modules through an image identification technology.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the robot can accurately acquire the standby module of the target type according to the replacement instruction, and accurately replace the fault module by using the acquired standby module.
Optionally, the standby module and the failure module may be hot plug modules.
It can be seen that in the implementation of the present disclosure, the robot can replace the failed module with the standby module of the target kind without the server cutting off the power supply. And the replacement process is simple, and the cost of maintaining equipment is reduced.
Optionally, after the robot replaces the failed module with a standby module of the target kind, the robot may further send a confirmation message to the robot management system or the failed system. The confirmation message is used for prompting the fault system that the fault module is replaced by any standby module of the target type.
It will be appreciated that the robot sends an acknowledgement message to indicate to the malfunctioning system that the malfunctioning module has been replaced with a spare module.
Optionally, after receiving the confirmation message, the failure system may detect whether the failure server installed with the standby module can operate normally. If the fault server of the new module for installation equipment cannot normally operate, it indicates that other undetected modules with faults may exist in the fault server, so that the fault system can send complete machine fault information to the robot management system, where the complete machine fault information includes: the category to which the failed server belongs. And the robot management system sends a complete machine replacement instruction to the robot, wherein the complete machine replacement instruction is used for indicating that the fault server is replaced by any standby server with the same type as the fault server. And after receiving the complete machine replacement instruction, the robot replaces the fault server by using any standby server with the same type as the fault server.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can also bring the following beneficial effects: because the embodiment of the disclosure can use a robot with smaller volume to replace manual maintenance equipment, part of operations which can be performed by the robot cannot be completed manually. For example, a human being typically moves side-by-side with a server while shifting the location of the server on a rack. And the robot can directly lift the server and transfer the position. Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, compared with the related art, the distance between the cabinets storing the servers can be shortened, and the land resources occupied by the data center are reduced.
Moreover, embodiments of the present disclosure utilize robotic maintenance equipment, and compared to a manual maintenance mode of equipment, embodiments of the present disclosure also reduce human resources consumed by the maintenance equipment.
